Obviously not an actual paranormal experience, but the power went out once when we were watching the Blair Witch Project as a teenager with a bunch of friends, and while you rationally know that there’s nothing supernatural about this, and it’s just a power outage with poor timing, your brain cannot stop itself from freaking out about it when you’re in the middle of it!

Thankfully everyone involved survived the night. 😉

When we watched The Ring with my sons, near the end of the movie, I slipped my cell phone out of my pocket and dialed the land line so it started ringing just when the movie ended.

Screams all around. Great fun.
